Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar for sweet pies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold, cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup ice water as needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until dough holds together without being sticky.
  • Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

Notes

For a savory pie crust, you may omit the sugar. Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
